[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3489826, member: 7900"] So, when are we going to call out people for eating fried foods and ice cream and maybe dying of heart disease? From the numbers my wife was reading to me in the vehicle a while ago, heart disease and cancer both surpass Covid-19, and even the CDC seems to think some of the Covid numbers might ought to be flu or other diseases. Granted, I know that cancer and heart disease aren't transmittable like Covid, but so many in America are absolutely rabid about Covid with no thought of flu or other contagious diseases. Anybody out there crying about losing a friend or family member to the flu? Wife and I are in the "elderly" category at 68 for her and 74 for me, but we've worked in three states this year and stayed in hotels for the whole time. We've also "vacationed" in South Dakota, Utah, and Arizona staying either in hotels or VRBO rentals. The only time we have worn masks is when it is required to enter a store or other facility. We don't go around to bars and such and do pretty much stay away from large crowds. In all, we've been in or through something like 12 states this year with absolutely no problems. By contrast, we were amazed by the number of young, healthy people out in the open in the national parks with no one within yards of them and still wearing masks. Folks were doing the touristy selfie thing with natural wonders behind them and STILL wearing their masks. We all run risks from one thing or another, but I find it disappointing for people to tell me how to live my life. [/QUOTE]
